About Lisa
Lisa Spears is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and life changes. Her practice also includes issues like parenting stress, addictions, ADHD, and concerns related to identity and intimacy.
She helps people navigate painful events such as divorce, loss, and trauma. Lisa meets clients where they are and focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship first. Sessions are guided by what the individual needs in the moment and what goals they bring to therapy.
Her approach draws from client-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral techniques. She also uses elements of mindfulness and narrative work to help people notice patterns, manage upsetting thoughts, and tell their story in a clearer way. Practical strategies and short-term goals are offered alongside deeper meaning-making when appropriate.
Lisa has experience working with couples and family concerns as part of her broader practice, including blended family issues, adoption and foster care matters, and infertility or fertility-related stress. She also addresses career and life-purpose questions for people trying to find direction in their twenties and early thirties.
People who prefer straightforward, practical conversations about change may find this style helpful. The work often includes skill-building for stress, communication tools for relationship problems, and step-by-step plans to reduce symptoms like insomnia or overwhelm.
How Lisa’s approaches work for online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and decide their own next steps, which can be useful when adjusting to adult responsibilities or relationship changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It provides practical exercises and short-term goals to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood swings common in early adulthood.
Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and grounding practices. These tools can help with stress, rumination, and staying calm during big life transitions like moving out or starting a first job.
Finding the best mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That choice can change as progress is made.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Ask which session types are currently offered so you can pick what fits your schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, or allow for a quick check-in on a break from work or school.
